[libvirt-users] Non-Root not able to use openReadOnly()
Hi, I have a code : import libvirt con = libvirt.openReadOnly(None) print con.listDomainsID() When i run the above code using root i get the proper output... but when i use non-root user it givers be a empty list [ ] If i change the 2nd line to con = libvirt.open(qemu:///system) It works. I am using RHEL 6.1 with default kvm and libvirt. unix_sock_group = "virt" in libvirtd.conf where virt is a group of non-root user group = "virt" in qemu.conf is set. Any Ideas???? -- Thanks Vipul Borikar "Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."

When you pass 'None' to the open API call, libvirt will guess what driver to use. If you run non-root, it guesses 'qemu:///session' but when you run as root it guesses 'qemu:///system'. You should always pass an explicit URI if you know which one you want to use.
